When i was 10 i had a parakeet named angel. At night, i would take a flashlight and make shadow puppets on the wall next to her cage...a bird, a giraffe, the head of a dog. The apparitions would always try to interact with her and soon she would chirp in the direction of the shadow as if she was talking to my hands. These days, as the sun sets outside the city, i wonder if all the creatures get together and make sentences out of shadows for us to happen upon.

Each print is handmade, signed and numbered (in a series of 175). A xylene transfer is like a screenprint, but without the screen, and the artwork is hand-transferred inch by inch over a long hour. Each piece is an original, slightly different from the last. The paper stock is a 90lb, cream colored, 100% rag (cotton) sheet with 2 deckle edges and measures 22 x 30 inches. When shipped, the print is slowly and carefully rolled within a larger piece of paper, placed securely in a thick protective tube, brought to the post office and priority mailed with delivery confirmation.
